About this event
The latest digital innovations are creating opportunities for reshaping how healthcare organisations deliver patient services, improve outcomes, enhance clinician satisfaction and manage costs more effectively. When Internet of Health Things (IoHT) and blockchain are combined, secure, unalterable blockchains can reduce risks by charting the chain of possession of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, allowing products to be traced through the supply chain.
Since Cybersecurity is an undeniable factor now and has impacts in our everyday life. We need to understand the current state of these technologies and how they can be combined with the help of cloud services for even greater results.
This presentation will focus on healthcare sector and cyber issues associated with the aka IoHT. As a potential solution to the cyber issues in IoHT, the effectiveness of emerging techniques such as blockchain and edge computing will be explored and a synergistic blockchain framework for ensuring cyber safety of IoHT will also be introduced.
